                       TRIBUTE TO CHUCK MAGLOTHIN

 Mr. TUBERVILLE. Mr. President, our servicemembers put their 
lives on the line to preserve this Nation for generations to come. Many 
of them also hand down that ethic of service to their own children. 
That is certainly true of CW4 Chuck Maglothin of Foley.
  Chuck channeled his love of flying to serve in various aviation roles 
during his 25 years in the U.S. Army. He specialized in Blackhawk and 
Kiowa warrior helicopters, climbing the ranks to become an instructor 
pilot and maintenance examiner.
  Chuck's bravery and expertise provided critical war support in the 
aftermath of 9/11. He was in one of the first groups to be deployed to 
Iraq. He went on to do three more combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. 
In 2016, Chuck finished his time in the Army with more than 3,200 
flight hours, most of which were in combat.

  Chuck says one of his greatest honors during his time in the military 
was swearing his son Jarrod into the U.S. Army in 2013. Jarrod carries 
on Chuck's love of flying as a UH-60 Blackhawk crew chief.
  Chuck continues to use his aviation skills as a mechanical assembler 
for Collins Aerospace. He works on Boeing 787 inlets to keep our 
military and commercial planes safe and efficient. Chuck also gives 
back to local agencies through his involvement in the Marshalls krewe.
  We are thankful for Alabamians like Chuck who have put country ahead 
of self to protect our freedom. I am proud to recognize him as the 
August Veteran of the Month.
